The Night Will Only Know

That night will live forever

Their first time to lie together

They were finally where desire dared them to go

Both belonging to another

But longing to be lovers

Promising each other that the night will only know.



Parked on some old backstreet

They laid down in the backseat

And fell into the fire down below

But they would pay for their deceving

For a deadly web was weaving

Why they picked that spot that evening

Lord, the night will only know.



Well within the innuendos

Just outside the steamy windows

The night was shattered by a woman's scream

Motionless and frightened

The grip of fate had tightened

And with trembling hands they wiped away the steam.



They saw a woman pleading

Stumbling, begging, and retreating

'til she became the victim of a foe

And they watched her fall in silence

To save their own alliance

But the reason for the violence

Just the night will only know



And every paper ran the story

She was stripped of all her glory

And they told exactly how the woman died

Abandoned and forsaken

Too many pills were taken

And they ruled the woman's death a suicide.



Bound by their behavior

They could have been her savior

Now guilt becomes an endless debt they owe

But another crime was committed

And it's never been admitted

Have the guilty been acquitted

Lord, the night will only know.
